Ice Cream Pail Refrigerator Pickles image

The method and proportions make this recipe a bit different. Allowing the salted vegetables to sit for a few hours draws out the water and allows the cucumbers to stay crisp and crunchy, just how we like them. The pickled cucumbers will keep in the fridge at least a month or two, but I can't say exactly how long.....they never last that long!!! Recipe from my late Mother-in-Law.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 litres, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 -10 large cucumbers (or enough to almost fill a 4 litre ice cream pail or fill a gallon container about 3/4)
1 -2 cup onion, sliced
1 cup celery, sliced (I always omit this) (optional)
1 -2 cup green bell peppers, sliced (or a combination , use whichever you like) or 1 -2 cup red bell pepper (or a combination , use whichever you like)
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds

Steps:

  • Peel and slice cucumbers thinly, filling ice cream pail as you go to 3/4 full.
  • Mix with the additional vegetables and stir in salt, distributing well.
  • Cover and let stand 2 - 4 hours on counter.
  • Drain off the liquid (I like to rinse and drain again to remove some of the salt).
  • In ice cream pail combine brine ingredients and stir well. Do not worry if the sugar doesn't dissolve completely - it will on its own.
  • Mix in cucumbers and other vegetables, cover, and refrigerate.
  • The next day stir again.
  • Note: The brine won't cover the cucumbers completely at first so stir once a day. The cucumbers will release additional liquid over time.
  • Cooking time is standing time.

These pickles are a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These pickles didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I think I overcooked them.

These pickles are a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less jalapeƱo next time.

These pickles are a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll add a bit more sugar next time.

These pickles are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.
